I didn't even know about what happened to him until just the other day, and now I just read the latest news. It's just so shocking, I can hardly believe it. I never even knew him all that well and I'm tearing up just reading the updates. Enough with all the horrible shit happening to people already. :(

Oh, no, I wasn't complaining, I just figured that the common factor would be someone common to the group of responders, and it was the community's feelings of shock and dismay and support that hit. That, and the timing is coincidentally triggering, which I say by explanation only.

Bleak - that was the one thing I was not permitting myself to feel. It was far too important to let despair cripple me, and at the time it would have. I really feel for Kate in this.
